Alabama

(Frank J.Myers - Gary Baker)
Once upon a lifetime I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart for the very first time
She was scared and young and had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand and a boy became a man once upon a lifetime.
And once upon a lifetime you hold the queen of hearts
But if you gamble on a diamond when the dealing starts
You stand to lose it all as the cards begins to fall
And the lesson learned is hard, you're only dealt the queen of hearts
Once upon a lifetime.
So if your taking chances know the chance you take
A broken hearts a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best thing seldom come along twice.
Once upon a lifetime you know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born tenderly against your chest
The innocent you see the value of a family and you feel a special bond
That only comes a long once upon a lifetime.
So if you taking chances know the chance you take
A broken heart a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fool's of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice.
And people only find
A love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime...
